ELAP Family Law Fellowship

Would you like a free opportunity to learn hands-on legal skills, earn CLE credits, network, have a space to start your own legal practice, and to have firms (both private and non-profit) want to hire you on the spot?

The six-month intensive program is an opportunity for newly licensed attorneys pursuing a career in family law to gain direct experience in a supportive environment. Fellows volunteer half-time while receiving computer access, desks, phones, mentorship and training in Family Law, Domestic Violence, motions practice and pre-trial/trial preparation. Fellows are covered by ELAP’s malpractice insurance for all work done on ELAP cases.

New graduates are encouraged to apply pending bar exam results. Final acceptance into the Fellowship is subject to Washington state bar passage.

Application materials for the 2018 fall class are due October 1, 2018. The program begins on November 5. Please submit a resume, cover letter, two references and a short writing sample to legaladministrator@elap.com.
